Taco Bell ditched the Naked Chicken Chalupa, so here's how to make your own
Watch Next

Last month, Taco Bell unleashed the Naked Chicken Chalupa, which is basically just a deep-fried piece of chicken shaped like a taco shell. We lovingly called it "the grossest fast food invention yet."

The concoction was short-lived, because just a few weeks later, the Bell decided to remove the fried masterpiece from its menu, with the promise that it would one day return.

Well, if you don't feel like waiting for Taco Bell to get its priorities straight, you can always just make your own. Thankfully, YouTubers Hellthy Junk Food created their very own version that you can easily replicate at home.

They decided to make theirs giant, but if you want to spare yourself the hassle, just butterfly a piece of chicken and skip the steps where they Frankenstein multiple chicken breasts together to make it giant.
